I must say that Attorney Malik and Steve Valencia have both been phenomenal during the entire process of H1-B visa applications and the journey to permanent residency (Green Card). I was based in New York and though Attorney Malik and her team are situated in Florida, they responded immediately to my over the phone and email consultation, questions and requests and communicated with me directly and promptly. For a team i have never met personally, they have made this entire journey a very smooth transition for me from beginning to end. I highly recommend their services as they are both extremely reliable, dependable and provide the best services anyone can ask for. Special thanks again to Attorney Malik and Steve and the behind the scenes team!

Over the years i've had numerous types of US visas and worked with different attorneys. Shilpa and her team are by far the best group I've worked with - cost-effective, but extremely efficient, knowledgeable and even when it was looking like my E2 was going to be delayed for months, they stuck with it and coached me along the way and we got it in a matter of weeks. The best I've worked with!

Attorney Shilpa Malik was of great help during my process to obtain permanent residency in the United States. She is very knowledgeable about the immigration process and was able to answer all my questions without ambiguity. I booked several consultations with her and appreciated her ability to simplify a complex process into a set of clear-cut instructions and advice that led to my application being processed smoothly. Shilpa clearly values her clients' results and genuinely wants to see them succeed.

“Thank you for not paying too much attention for the orthodox rules of the regular process”

Since the beginning, I understand all the challenges we would face, being a taxologist, a new profession that no one understands, but I also understand where my decades of hard work and recognition stands. Before I meet you at your office, I have been talking to many attorneys, some of them not professionally able to do the work and most of them not believing in the thesis, misjudging or misunderstanding the scenario. Anyways, ALL of them were not patient enough to learn something different and turned my case down.

We put together more than 1000 strong pages of documents in the case. We wrote more than 100 long emails to each other to learn about it.

Thank you for believing in my case, thank you for the hard work to make it strong and clear as much as possible. Thank you for not paying too much attention for the orthodox rules of the regular process, because a different professional needs a different path.

Thank you for fighting for my family and I, from the bottom of my heart.

And a special thank you for Ashley, for being a great listener and then a tough fighter, in order to deliver justice and serves me in the best possible way.

Thank you,

“She and her team were incredibly human and responsive throughout the process”

I had terrific experience working with SGM Law Group on my H1-B petition. Shilpa saved me when she willingly agreed to accept my case only few weeks prior to the deadline (after I received many denials from other firms). She and her team were incredibly human and responsive throughout the process, patiently explaining all details and taking the stress off my shoulders. My case was difficult, for it was for a marketing position, but Shilpa’s team brought it to a successful end! Just for comparison, my colleague worked with another lawyer who costs 3x SGM’s fees and his case got denied. Highly recommended!

Our permanent residency case was very delicate and difficult to handle. All other attorneys we contacted did not seem to care about our case. We must say that Attorney Malik was always very communicative, attentive to detail, creative and performed very naturally under pressure. We would definitely recommend her services to anyone in need of a new H1B, Green Card or any other immigration related matter. We appreciate Attorney Malik’s and her staff’s help. We would not have gotten our green cards without their help. God bless!

“I am positive that other attorneys would not have succeeded at getting my H1B transfer within this short time line”

Hi Shilpa,

I just picked my passport with the H1B visa stamp on it here at the American Embassy in my home country. Please see attachment.

I would like to thank you for taking my difficult case (H4 approval pending for a long time) and working so hard in trying to speed up my H1B transfer. I am positive that other attorneys would not have succeeded at getting my H1B transfer within this short time line. I know so because I have been turned down by other Immigration Attorneys who did not believe that USCIS would approve my I-129 petition.
You have been very supportive, answered my phone calls, and responded to all my emails with utmost professionalism and dedication. I would not only recommend your services to friends and coworkers but also contact you back to work on my permanent residence case, which I believe will become current in 4 months.

Once again, thank you for your time and excellent services.

Best Regards,

-Bruno P.

“Your services are greatly appreciated, and we wouldn’t hesitate to hire you again in the future”

We were married on July 8th 2011, and we hired Shilpa as our immigration attorney. The entire process went very smoothly and very quickly thanks to Shilpa. We don’t have the words to express our heart felt gratitude to her for all she’s done to help us. Thank you very much for your courtesy, professionalism, and genuine down-to-earth kindness. Your services are greatly appreciated, and we wouldn’t hesitate to hire you again in the future. Thanks again, Shilpa-Drew & Jamie

Searching for dependable legal advice can be a frustrating endeavor. This was my experience until I found the Law Offices of Shilpa Malik. From the initial consultation to dicuss the case, to gathering necessary documents, to filing all appropriate forms, to preparing for the USCIS interview, Attorney Malik impressed me with utmost professionalism, knowledge, and commitment. Her experience and thoroughness took the guesswork out of the immigration maze. For those of you still looking for legal advice on immigration, I say look no further. I strongly recommend the Law Offices of Shilpa Malik.-Pedro L.

“I never met a lawyer who works so hard, cares so much, on call 24/7”

I never met a lawyer who works so hard, cares so much, on call 24/7. Ive even consulted with other lawyers who say that there is nothing they can do that Shilpa Malik has not already done. I can truly say that she does this work to help people and not for the money. We love her and will forever consider her a part of our family. Thank you Shilpa for coming into our lives and helping us with this battle when many others said it couldn’t be done.-Angela Z.

“She skillfully exhibited professionalism and compassion in all of our exchanges”

When we started the application process, I knew I would have a certain “feeling” about the lawyer I would choose. I had contacted a number of lawyers before finding Shilpa. Our situation was particular and I was concerned about the application for permanent residence status fitting in a certain timeline. During her gracious free phone consultation I immediately knew she was the lawyer we had been searching for. In just a few minutes she inspired trust, confidence, and peace of mind about our situation, where other lawyers were pessimistic, cold, or condescending. She skillfully exhibited professionalism and compassion in all of our exchanges and I knew right away she would make the positive difference in our emigration and thus, life plans. Her fees were extremely reasonable and she even flew across the country for our immigration interview for a fee that seemed to only cover costs, making it evident that she honestly cared about our situation and application to adjust resident status. She always responded promptly to my questions and was very clear about all aspects of the application process. I was blown away by how smoothly and swiftly the application was processed, thanks to Shilpa’s clarity and guidance. I couldn’t imagine a better experience and am so grateful to Shilpa for taking what I imagined to be a near-impossible situation and making it manageable, successful, and completely affordable.-Sara P.

“You have been a great attorney and you handle my case with so much care and concern”

I just want to say thank you for everything you have done for me! You have been a great attorney and you handle my case with so much care and concern. I don’t think I could have got my working permit and social security if it was any other attorney! You didn’t take no for an answer and you never gave up even when I did. I admire your professionalism and persevarence in the way you handled my case, which so many other attorneys refuse to take. You not only took my case, you gave me hope from the very beginning and that is what kept me going thru my difficult time. Words cannot explain my gratitude towards you! I just want you to know that I am here to give my recommendation if anyone ever needed it. Again thank you for everything you have done to help me with my case. I couldn’t have done it without you!-A. Hamid

“…..always there to answer any questions that I had”

Attorney Shilpa Malik was extremely affordable and always there to answer any questions that I had regarding the E-2 visa process. She worked really hard on my case and got my case approved very quickly!-F. Karakaya

“….Ms. Malik’s fees are most reasonable and given her demonstrated integrity I will certainly recommend…..”

The process of selecting a skilled and professional immigration attorney can be a very daunting task. Traditional shop-around approaches do not yield the best results in this very complex area of the Law. After my initial research done on the AILA’s website and viewing the very impressive website of the SGM Law Group, I decided to contact Attorney Malik by email, expecting the usual delay in receiving a response. To my utmost surprise I received a phone call later that day and in the ensuing personal consultation my decision was sealed. Petitions for L1 visas involve extensive documentation which may seem like an academic effort! Through Attorney Malik’s guidance from the outset, we were able to meet the requirements of the USCIS. Reassurance of certain issues articulated confidence in her knowledge of the immigration law and she has always been accessible by phone or email; which I can hardly compare to other attorneys I have dealt with on non-immigration matters. Above all, Ms. Malik’s fees are most reasonable and given her demonstrated integrity I will certainly recommend and retain her services for my future immigration matters.-Adil A.

“We are so thankful that we had Shilpa as our attorney…..”

We are so thankful that we had Shilpa as our attorney, she listened, always maintained communication and made a very stressful time seamless for us. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a top notch attorney.-Claudia & Luigi
